While on the case, I have a stupid beginners question: I run PD on OSX and was just wondering if the various libs and externals that exist for win and linux can be used under OSX (e.g. the iemlib). Is this just a matter of compiling them for this platform?
yup, it should be as simple as that.
yep, it was proven by Michael A Thompson ( http://homepage.mac.com/mthomp/html/software.html ) who ported my objects to OSX without modifications except maybe one or two includes and using sh instead of bash in scripts.
even the threaded externals were ported successfully ( they never could be ported to Windows, they compile but crash ).
good luck anyway.
Yves.
